Quote by Twitter: I Tweet, Therefore I Am

Using Twitter suggests a level of insecurity whereby, unless people recognise you, you cease to exist.

Dr. David Lewis, University of Sussex, in a London Times article.

Although I’ve never been a fan of Twitter, I can’t say I agree with this assessment. Obviously Dr. Lewis doesn’t work in a digital or media industry where it’s important to one’s career to participate in these types of social networks. Academia continues to be rather out of touch with reality, at least in this case.
